why wont my downtime turn off?

My downtime wont turn off at all, and I've tried pretty much everything. My mom has downtime on 24/7, and it's not a scheduled thing, so she has to manually turn it off whenever I can use my phone. Lately, it hasn't been turning off at all and she's had to reset the entire thing. This only happens whenever I sent a request for an app and it got accepted, but its still really annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!!

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hey there salhater,


It sounds like this might be expected if this setting is enabled from a parent device. The details below will explain more:


When you schedule downtime in Settings, only phone calls and apps that you choose to allow are available. Downtime applies to all of your Screen Time-enabled devices, and you get a reminder five minutes before it starts. If you set a Screen Time passcode, Downtime includes an additional setting: Block At Downtime. When you choose this setting and you click Ask For More Time when Downtime starts, entering the passcode allows you to approve the app for 15 minutes, an hour, or all day. Child accounts can click One More Minute once, or click Ask For More Time to send their request to the parent account for approval.

Take care!
